At the heart of the world's best attack, sits an unsung catalyst who just might be redefining the 9 position for non-Dupont mortals. So, following his exceptional hattrick against Leicester Tigers at the weekend, how good is Jamison Gibson-Park, and just how important is he for Leinster & Ireland?

What's mad is how well Leinster/Ireland transform their players. Yes granted many of them are obviously naturally talented but they go to the next level after playing a few years even the imported players such as Lowe and Gibson-Park.I think you could argue Sexton would never have lasted as long if he didn't go back to Leinster at age 30. Such a shame that English sides don't look after their own talent as much.

Ireland has wingers coming through to replace Lowe, we already have quality centres who can replace Aki and more coming through.

I may be out of the loop but who have we got in the pipeline to replace Lowe with a similar skillset? With the exception of Nash and Balacoune, neither of whom I'd rate as highly as Lowe, Ireland have had a hard time producing wingers of our own. There's plenty of promising young players coming through but no wingers jump out to me. Lots of quality centres who can fill in while waiting for the next one to come through

@eoinh3816 29 күн бұрын

Shayne Bolton at Connacht looks the best match like for like to replace him as a power winger. Osborne will be a star in the centre and has an even bigger left boot than Lowe. The back 3 for the Irish u20s this year and last year have been impressive

@@eoinh3816 that's true actually I'm a big fan of Bolton and I'm happy to see him getting more game time this year. Hopefully he can continue to stay uninjured going forward. I will say with though about Bolton that he falls into that same category for me where again he's not an Irish produced winger. I've nothing against using players like Bolton or Hansen who qualify through family but it's somewhat strange that we haven't produced many wingers for a while now.
